Question and answers  1. What is the best test method for the identification of typhoid fever? The best test method for the identification of typhoid fever is blood culture.  Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi.

What the differences between X-rays, CT scans, and MRI are. Radiography Radiography is a  term  that covers studies that require the visualization of the internal parts of the body with the help of X-ray techniques. In other words, X-ray examinations create images of internal organs or bones for medical  diagnosis . A special device emits a small amount of ionizing radiation, which passes through the body and is captured by a special gadget. That’s how an X-ray image appears. The dose of radiation depends on the examined area. Small areas, such as the arms, for example, get a smaller dose than bigger areas, such as the spine. On average, the dose of radiation doesn’t exceed the amount you get from the environment within one week. The calcium that our bones contain blocks radiation, which is why healthy bones look either white or gray in images....
